Cant beleive no one just sells a simple brace like this. Ill run it too, until I can get a nice fancy one ,awesome! 
Also, just confirming, but, this is the correct bushing kit? http://coloradok5.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=854&d=1107185776
Those are definitely the pieces I'm sending you, so you should be good with that part number hopefully
if i recall there is the older one for 67-72 trucks and 73-up trucks . but i could be wrong . best check.
Im having a hard time checking, there arent any holes on my frame there so I would have to drill, but ,yeah ,great point
Chris Perry,the ones you posted ,what are those from? I see you have a 75, just wondering if those are to our 2nd gens?

I bought it for a 75, but it is too long to just bolt up. It may be because I am using the incorrect crossmember.
For it to work it would need to be cut an inch shorter and two new holes drilled. If I were you I would do some measuring and see if it would match for your setup.
if Z71parametics doesn't work and mine will I'll ship it to you, I'll even throw in the bushings. If I don't give it to someone I will end up chucking it when I clean up around here.

I do beleive its...Energy suspentions 3.1107g
Sweet 75! We both measured from the TC to frame today ,from his first gens TC to> frame,is 2 1/2 inches, and its the same distance with my 75. I DO need bushings thoill shoot u a pm....
From the frame to the side of the t-case wasn't the issue, it was the height. The transfercase needed to sit about an inch lower for the bracket to sit properly @ the bottom of the frame.
PM returned
Oh woah, thats the problem I think, is that they sit on TOP of the frame......like this.....http://coloradok5.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1127381&postcount=5 dont quote me on that tho, lol

That's exactly how they go in factory form. The one bracket bolts to the t-case, the other L-bracket to the vertical part of the frame. The bushings are then sandwiched between the two and the bottom of the C-channel.
Exactly. when I bolted mine to the frame, with the bushings, like that pic, the holes that are supposed to line up with the t-case are an inch too low. I easily could have trimmed the bracket and drilled new holes, but that just isn't my style.
Thanks,ill let u know.Ill see how this brace is going to play out first, a custom deal wld b better, but, you know how that stuff goes sometimes
